Lookin good Opt. Please excuse the crude mockup (I only got MS Paint at work) but would a two tone bezel sticking with the colors of the side art and t-molding work? Too much? |

Oooh sessy. You need to do that, Opt. I made a bezel out of layered card stock once, and it looked fine under the glass. |

That is a bold choice. --- End quote --- Thanks man, I wanted to brighten up the cabinet a bit more than the frontal black that the konami cabs have. --- Quote from: pbj on December 05, 2019, 11:01:01 am ---I like the threaded inserts, but a part of me always worries that I'm going to push a joystick too hard and they'll rip out. The bright side is that if that happens, you just go back to carriage bolts. For a multiplayer cabinet that people are going to pound on, you're better off with carriage bolts from the get go. Yellow bezel looks great, I wouldn't bother replacing that in the future. You need to color coordinate your carriage bolts. :cheers: --- End quote --- You're not wrong on all counts. Though I think I'll hold off on the carriage bolt colouring :lol But I think I'm not going to bother replacing this now since the bezel came out so well. --- Quote from: Arroyo on December 05, 2019, 11:28:21 am ---Lookin good Opt.

I think I'll take a look into this after the party deadline, amongst a few more changes/updates I'm looking into. Good news, the ambiguously long shipping of Twisted Quarter's FedEx Smart Shart Ship of my control parts came in today! :droid I also picked up CP hinges, and Corner protectors. (also got a Chamma to JAMMA adapter from Mike's Arcade, for a Pandora's Box I'm planning on putting into one of my other cabinets during the party). So I can fully finish off the CP tonight! Stay tuned... |

Opinions needed. Should I put Yellow or Black T-molding along the CP box trim? |
| pbj:
Yellow. |
